Following an update to Messages yesterday amid the past week’s discussion about the company’s communications future, Google Phone 27 is rolling out. The latest beta of the dialer coincides with the “Favorites” tab redesign rolling out, along with Call Screen for the original Pixel.

About APK Insight: In this ‘APK Insight’ post, we’ve decompiled the latest version of an application that Google uploaded to the Play Store. When we decompile these files (called APKs, in the case of Android apps), we’re able to see various lines of code within that hint at possible future features. Keep in mind that Google may or may not ever ship these features, and our interpretation of what they are may be imperfect. We’ll try to enable those that are closer to being finished, however, to show you how they’ll look in the case that they do ship. With that in mind, read on.

Favorites tab redesign rolling out

Since August, the Google Phone app has been working on a revamped Favorites tab that drops the two-wide grid of contacts for circular icons that fit more people across. This redesign appears to be rolling out via a server-side update with the latest stable version and not necessarily version 27.

Users can quickly “Add” more favorites in the top right-corner while a tap on an icon lets you determine how to reach a person. Contacts that only have one way of being reached — be it only one associated number or not signed up for Google Duo — will feature a phone icon in the bottom-right corner of the profile image. Meanwhile, there is a list of “Frequents” at the bottom of this new grid.
